Russia shows its true face by attacking the port of Odessa just hours after signing an agreement.

Pope Francis apologizes for the "deplorable evil" of abuse of indigenous people in Canada's Catholic residential schools.

Currency crisis, inflation, unemployment, poverty: what is happening in Argentina? 

This is what you need to know to start the day.

Truth first.

1. Do we have to wear masks again in closed places?

It is a confusing time, once again, in the covid-19 pandemic.

Does the recent rise in coronavirus cases necessitate a reimposition of indoor mask wearing?

To learn more about this topic, we turned to Dr. Leana Wen, a CNN medical analyst and professor of public health at George Washington University. 

2. Exchange crisis, inflation, unemployment, poverty: what is happening in Argentina?

For Argentines it is almost like a faithful and very bitter tradition: the country is currently experiencing a new crisis in its economy which, added to the harsh political situation within the coalition that has governed since 2019, is shaking society and increasing the tensions.

The situation is not new: the economy has been going up and down since 2011, while poverty and inflation have maintained an upward trend.

3. Russia shows its true face  

United Nations chief António Guterres seemed both relieved and worried when a grain export deal (which he himself negotiated) between Russia and Ukraine was signed in Istanbul on Friday last week, with Turkey acting as intermediary.

Less than 24 hours after it was signed, the subsequent calm in Odessa was shattered when two sea-launched Russian Kalibr cruise missiles crashed into the port.

China's warnings against a possible trip by US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to Taiwan appear to have caused concern in Washington.

The Asian country's foreign ministry promised "decisive and forceful measures" if she went ahead with the trip and, since then, a flurry of comments from US officials has only increased the sense of alarm.

With stoves on and hot drinks in hand, from the Southern Cone they carefully observe the heat waves that are wreaking havoc in Europe and the United States and wonder: what will summer bring?

It is still too early to make reliable forecasts for December, but the similarities and differences between the hemispheres give us some clues.
